About Becoming a Writer:
Writing stories has always been my thing. From early beginnings as a kid concocting adventures in Spain as I listened to my big sisters classical music - Manuel de Falla and Rodrigo mostly. I loved reading stories about the future that would take me far away from my boarding school. The future was exciting then and scary. I always wanted to go into space and remember writing to Buzz Aldrin the astronaut and being shocked he personally replied. I eventually got to see one of the last shuttle launches into space and was amazed at the terrifying noise that shook the air and make water bounce. Sure as hell wouldn't want to go into space now. Ridely Scott and Philip K Dick got it right in Bladerunner. The future of space exploration is for Ai robots. But you already knew robots are going to take over the world - right?

Lundein - a city devastated by war. Imagine you are one the last survivors, patrolling the ruins with your wild Blue Lynx, trained to protect you from all enemies. Imagine there’s a secret way out, a perilous labyrinth to London that few survive. Nevertheless you must find it or die. Imagine an art gallery. Jules falls in love with a stunning portrait of a girl, her faithful Cat at her side. Kye, the artist tells her that it’s his sister Saska, living in a city that impossibly exists in the exact same space as London – invisible to us.
Saska seeks the tunnel and a way out.
Kye can’t remember the way back.
Jules courts madness in believing any of it is real.

The Repossession & The Hunting are set in the mountain town of Spurlake. Spurlake must have been pretty exciting place to live in around 1890. It was a barren, lonely mountainside facing onto a lake. Once gold was found a whole city grew in just months. Genie Magee's great-grandfather built-up Spurlake way back in its heady gold rush days and made a fortune. B.C. has a number of towns like this - overnight cities that flourished until the gold ran out and then slowly began to die as people drifted away. *Repossession & The Hunting are now out of print. I do have copies available if you get in contact.*However they are available in Turkish (As TOZ, Golge and Ruya) and French as Volontaires in 2017 VoLontaires as Kindle or Print.

I wrote 'The Repercussions of Tomas D' because I like to play 'What if..' Alternative history is a fascination for me.What if England had lost the war? I sent poor Tomas D back to London in the middle of the Blitz. He knows exactly how the war is supposed to end, but what if someone really believes he is from the future and they use that knowledge to change the outcome of WW2? What would that world be like? We get two stories in this book - Tomas stuck in 1941 and his best friend Gabriella waking up to a German run England in her own time. It's what Gabby notices about this new England that proves the most controversial. History turns on a pinhead. This could have really happened... see Time Stories Sample Chapter here - The Day after Tomas disappears
